Table project is complete

In late December I chose to take on a different kind of project for 2012. We bought a house in the fall, and I thought it would be cool to build our dining table. This project, which I will post more on later, played a key role in my lack of fishing this year. It was difficult for me to justify taking a day to fish when my family didn't have a table to eat at. Here is a photo of the finished project, but I will post later a detailed report on how the table progressed.

I Am A Fishing Fanatic

An engineer by day, you will find me at my desk or at home dreaming about my next fishing adventure. My favorite method of pursuing the various species that inhabit my East TN waters is with a fly rod, but I can be found flinging hardware with a baitcast or spinning reel. I began flyfishing around 1995 at an age of 15, and learn something new each trip. I enjoy the time outdoors with friends and family, and I especially value the time I have with my wife and kids fishing and camping. My job can be a hectic one, and I have found that the most effective escape I have from the stress is to pick up a rod and disappear for a while. I have two wonderful kids who enjoy being outdoors with daddy whether it be hiking, hunting, fishing, or whatever journey we are on at the time. I look forward to taking both of my kids fishing and hunting, and trying to be as good of a father to them as my dad was to me. This blog is my attempt at documenting the various experiences we have, and to record them for my kids as they grown older. God Bless and Tight Lines.
